Maybe some gays could address this.
It's not just a gay sex act.

Socialism! Communism! Taxes! Indoctrination! Death Panels! Middle aged men running around in revolutionary costumes! Rednecks with guns at political rallies! "I want my country back!"

LOL!

But thats OK, you keep on "Teabagging For Jebus". It makes for some very entertaining photos.

I like the word. It pisses people off and makes the movement stronger.

If you don't want to be called a Teabagger, stop engaging in teabagging. Simple enough if you ask me.

You do not even have the demographics correct.

CNN poll if tea party members.Of this core group of Tea Party activists, 6 of 10 are male and half live in rural areas," CNN reports. "Nearly three quarters of Tea Party activists attended college, compared to 54 percent of all Americans, and more than three in four call themselves conservatives."

Seems that Tea party members are emore educated than the average.

Politically, the figures are not a surprise. Forty-four percent of tea partiers called themselves "Republican," while 52% said they were independent. Among all those polled by CNN, 25% were Republicans while 44% were independents. A third self-identified as Democrats.

You appear to listen to those that fear the movement and try to marginalize them rather than use actual facts. I do not mean to confuse your indoctrination with facts because i know you will never accept facts even if the poll was from CNN.

Saw plenty of black people at some of these Tea-Party rallies. Are they White Nationalists too?

What bothers you and everyone else is that these Tea-Partiers (look! an easy way to call someone who is part of the Tea-Party movement!!) are from a diverse background.

Cries of creeping socialism are inaccurate.

Taxes are lower today for most americans than they were 2 years ago.

Granted, times are tough but the antecedents to those tough times are not taxes and the IRS and the size of government.

The original Boston Tea Party people were motivated by taxation without representation. These teabaggers have representation.

To me the Teabaggers are emblematic of the modern day tax protester: Irrational, deluded yet undaunted acting in purposeful ignorance.

Here's a better description:
What the narcissist is unable to work out through fantasy is simply repressed, put out of mind and kept from awareness. Beyond these, narcissists invent alibis, excuses, and “proofs” that seem [to themselves] plausible and consistent, and convince them of their continued stature and perfection.

These flimsily substantiated rationalizations are offered with an air of confidence and authority. As noted earlier, however, narcissists may never have learned to be skillful at public deception; they usually said and did what they liked without a care for what others thought. Their poorly conceived rationalizations may, therefore, fail to bring relief and, more seriously, may evoke scrutiny and deprecating comments from others.

At these times narcissists may be pushed to the point of employing projection as a defense. Unable to disentangle themselves from lies and inconsistencies, and driven by their need to maintain their illusion of superiority, they may begin to turn against others, accusing the latter of their own deceptions, their own selfishness, and their own irrationalities.
Theodore Millon, Ph.D., “Disorders of Personality; DSM-III: Axis II,” p. 168 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1981).

There is no creeping socialism. The US is one of the most lightly taxed first world countries on the planet. The TB'ers have little understanding of tax laws, history or economic facts. There's no meat on the bone with these people...it's really delusion at work.
Wow, that description of a narcissist describes Obama to a T!

Have you ever attended a Tea Party event? Didn't think so. Don't worry, we know personal attacks are part of the rules for radicals that you all love. As is the obligatory accusation of racism.
